Mogherini attended the Sapienza University of Rome where she studied Political Science graduating with a specialization in Political Philosophy with a final dissertation entitled "relationship between religion and politics in Islam", which she wrote whilst on the Erasmus programme at Aix-en-Provence, France (Sciences Po Aix).
A member of the Italian Communist Youth Federation from 1988, in 1996 Mogherini joined the Youth Left after the dissolution of the Italian Communist Party and its transformation into a social democratic party.
